    Thanks Kenny, you must go !! I loved the contrast in the environment of all the places I visited on this trip.
    The sand was drifting on the dunes but behind me was a sand storm blowing in, got pummeled by grains of sand lol the lens is a little gritty to say the least but it was worth it . Loved Death Valley.

    I was in Death Valley in August 06, and it looked so different to this, no greenery. This shot is just superb in every way, instant favourite.
